We also live in a farm community with a level 1 school. My son is probably a level 4. We have had very little trouble getting his needs met there. He kind of stands out like a sore thumb, but a pleasant sore thumb, adn the teachers seem to really appreciate having them in their class and doing whatever they can to keep his brain engaged. He is always given advanced work to do, but has not ever been full grade accelerated. he is happy and learning.

See my full post "introduction and public school success story" under Educational Advocacy for my full story and what worked for us. Start getting ideas, but don't panic yet. Sure, there are lots of people who have had very real problems, but problems are not inevitable.
